*After the Roman period, Bath remained a small town until the 18th century, when it became a fashionable spa destination for the wealthy. The architect John Wood the Elder designed much of the city’s Georgian architecture, including the famous Royal Crescent and the Circus. Bath also played an important role in the English literary scene, as several famous authors, including Jane Austen, lived and wrote in the city.  During the 19th century, Bath’s popularity declined as other spa towns became fashionable. In the 20th century, the city experienced significant redevelopment and preservation efforts, including the restoration of its Roman baths and the construction of a new spa complex.
Today, Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination known for its historical and cultural significance.

Fast and Ultra-Fast Charging for Battery Electric Vehicles – A Review
Today we pick through the literature for best practice in recycling enterprises in education communities. We have been keeping pace with the evolution of regulations in this domain for over 15 years now. Much like the security zietgeist the number of organizations involved in standards setting and conformance will likely surprise you. It is a cross cutting topic with a growing body of expert agencies claiming some part of the domain.
We will also pick through a few representative legislative proposals.  Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
Smart Recycling Machine to collect the wasted Non-woven Fabric Face Mask

We have been keeping pace with the evolution of regulations in this domain for over 15 years now. Hydra-like growth in policy think tanks and standards-developing organizations expanding into this domain will likely surprise you. For example, in no particular order:
College and University Recycling Association
NSF International Joint Committee on Environmental Leadership Standard for Servers
Sustainability Leadership for Photovoltaic Modules
Reconditioned Electrical Equipment
Sustainable Electronics Recycling International
Environmental Protection Agency: Land, Waste, and Cleanup Topics
As in other domains, the private standards system competes with government “influencers” and incumbent proxies who make markets through legislation.
Specific requirements must be met for recycling to be economically feasible and environmentally effective. These include an adequate source of recyclates, a system to extract those recyclates from the waste stream, a nearby factory capable of reprocessing the recyclates, and a potential demand for the recycled products. These last two requirements are often overlooked—without both an industrial market for production using the collected materials and a consumer market for the manufactured goods, recycling is incomplete and in fact only “collection”.
“Not only is it good for recycling stuff, but you also see young and old working together. It connects,” said student Bjorn. @eindhovenlife @summacollege #repaircafe #voicesforrepair #GENERATIONS https://t.co/SlCx0bdTdI

Proud to have won two @CambridgeSust Green Impact awards for our environmental efforts. The College won a Platinum award for the 2nd year, plus an award for its mixed waste recycling points.

Indoor plumbing has a long history, but it became widely available in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the United States, for example, the first indoor plumbing system was installed in the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia in the early 18th century. However, it was not until the mid-19th century that indoor plumbing became more common in middle-class homes.
One important milestone was the development of cast iron pipes in the 19th century, which made it easier to transport water and waste throughout a building. The introduction of the flush toilet in the mid-19th century also played a significant role in making indoor plumbing more practical and sanitary.
By the early 20th century, indoor plumbing had become a standard feature in most middle-class homes in the United States and other developed countries. However, it was still not widely available in rural areas and poorer urban neighborhoods until much later.
